Accton Arts Foundation
Arts Foundation
Accton Arts Foundation was established by Accton in 2000 with “Gathering the Power of Employees” and “Making Partnership Work” as the core. With the “Art as Bridge,” the Foundation is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and promoting public participation in sustainability and equal rights. In response to the changes of the era, the Foundation has re-adjusted its operation direction in 2024, focusing on the three core missions: supporting artistic talent, promoting artistic experience, and creating a shared art and cultural venue for the public. These goals are closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 17: Promote Diverse Partnerships. In 2024, the total amount of the Foundation’s investment reached NT$5,365,060, including a labor service commission fee of NT$4,000,000
Artistic talent cultivation – enabling artistic talent to become promoters of social change
The definition of artists by universal values is often limited to their roles in the market or public exhibition spaces, that is, their existence and recognition usually depend on the attention and evaluation of the outside world. However, Accton Arts Foundation emphasizes the social responsibility and participation of the artists in terms of the support to them, and found they are not only creators, but can act as the driver of social changes as well.
Popularization of Art Experiences – Art Workshops in Which Everyone can Participate
Artistic experience should not be limited to a specific group or a single topic. It should be integrated into the life and become an everyday activity that everyone can participate in. Accton Arts Foundation is committed to creating an art workshop across different fields, so that more people have the opportunity to contact, feel and practice arts, and thereby improve their personal cultural knowledge while promoting the diversity and inclusiveness of society.
Created an Art and Cultural Venue for All People to Share – Operation of Hsinchu City Art Site of Railway Warehouse
Can a public space in the city be operated in a public-private partnership model to achieve more efficient use of spaces, resources and capital? Since 2016, Accton Arts Foundation has worked with Hsinchu City Government Cultural Affairs Bureau to operate the Hsinchu City Art Site of Railway Warehouse through labor service commissioning. The Foundation is committed to creating an art and cultural venue that is shared by all people and educational and experimental in nature, in order to inject new life into the historic buildings located at the edge of the city center.
